It's a start

I had some great conversations about Wesley's art within the 24 hours of the first post. I also learned about the 500+ page catalogue of his work by Germano Celant published in 2009.

One Wesley fan said that he will go down in history as the third most important pop-artist after Warhol and Lichtenstein.

There were a fair amount of people that said that I can't expect anyone to express their views in writing. Unfortunately, this coincides with peoples' views that they also can't discuss art that is exhibited in Marfa for fear of offending either the artist or the person presenting the work.

I, for one, would not be offended if anyone questioned any of the art that I present at inde/jacobs. I think that it would be interesting to hear questions about work that I show and feel strongly about. If one decides to present something to the public, they should be prepared to answer any and all questions about it. It seems odd to me that people believe that a dialogue and questions may offend the person who is presenting the work.

Let's see how it goes. Thanks David for your comment.

PS - A number of artists are busy at work at Ballroom Marfa creating installations. I wonder what we will see.
